OUR PHILADELPHIA LETTER.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, NoY. 10, 'S7.
The religious racket panned out just as
predicted. The Methodist quartet failed in
its expected naturalization of electing the
two stagers Leeds and Maloney for control
Ter and sheriff. They were beat-desery-
edly beat-because their method Of making
votes invited the condemnation of good and
honorable citizens; this condemnation was
awarded emphatically to the blasphemers
and desecrators of religion. True the vic
tory won by the better element of Phila-
delphia cannot be construed as partisan
triumph, yet the Democracy of Philadel-
phia will gain great advantage by the
election of Krumbharr and Dechert. This
means that for the first time in twenty-five
years the Democratic party will have any
thing like protection at the polls in ma.
1 tional election. This is and will prove to
be an essential benefit TO the minority par
/ ty in a national contest. The police who
are under the control of the Republicans
will have as coadjutors to preserve the
peace, protect citizens and prevent frauds

sheriffs and deputy u. S. marshals. This
is a rarity tor the minority party, but it
will prove beneficial to all concerned The
advantage thus achieved and gained by the
Democracy is very much due to the man
agement and direction of the party forces
by W. 5. Harrty, and instruction and life
infused into the party workers and election
officers by that eminent citizen l.. c. Cassi

THE SHOWER.


Tis a summer day and the western breeze
stirs softly the dropping flowers,
And waits their fragrance rich and rare
Through all Its sunny hours.
II carelessly lifts with fingers light
The bending, yellow grain;
While reapers busy in distant meads
Are thinking OF cost and gain.
But a dark cloud is weaving q subtle web
Aga nst the western sky,
To catch the Trailer sun-kissed ones
Drifting about so carelessly.
The golden sunlight peeping through
The clouds that make the shade
Rests warm and bright on mountains brow
Kisses een the mossy glade.
But the wind has swept those fairy clouds
Far off to haven Of rest;
And the beautiful songsters of the wood
Are hushed in leafy nests.
Now slowly the rain comes pattering down
And drops on the window pane;
'Tis beautiful music. this low, drip, drop.
The tinkle OF falling rain.
Oh! who would have guessed the 'little scud'
Was slowly gathering power,
As with ringing laugh the farmer said,
Boys, we'll rest an hour!'
But, ah! he had reckoned all the gain,
Not counting half the cost;
For ere the sun shone warm again
All was wreck and lost.

Industrial Leader. July q.
II now leaks out that about May /, 1887,
or the next week after the call made by
Haskell for joint convention of the
I. W. A., I. A. A., l. w. p. A. and S. l.. p
which led to the publication of his white
card secret circular, there was n meeting
OF merchant princes in Chicago, led by
John v. Farewell, and it was there decided
to arm their clerks and employees so as to
be ready should there be any "labor dem
onstration." In 1887 Illinois passed
law against any body Of men or organiza-
tion srming themselves within the state.
This law has never been enforced against
Pinkerton's organized assassins, and of
course will not be against Farewell's
counter jumper brigade.
The Industrial Age proposes 7. b. Barry
as the successor Of General Master Work
man Powderly, and says he will receive
the report of the Western and South
western delegates. We hope the Indus
trial Age is innocent in this matter, but
before il declares for candidates it should
know what il is talking about. No mem
ber of the l. ". 4. should be thought Of for
genera, master workmn Of The Knights Of
Labor.
That T. B. Barry is good, solid, brainy
man no one will question. But the
Knights of Labor cannot keep too far
from the International Mr.. Barry is an
International and should not be thought
of for any position in the Knights. At
the Hamilton convention the Internation-
alisls through their network of groups
and white card members honeycombing
the X. of H.. succeeded in almost taking
position Of the order. Their candidate
there was Joe Buchanan, and so certain
was no that everything was fixed that in
his jubilance he got drunk, thus defeating
his and Haskell's pet scheme. lie.
The Internationalist candidate is Barry;
man infinitely above Buchanan it is
true, but an Internationalist nevertheless.
No, no, gentlemen, the general master
workman Of this order must he Knight
of Labor, whole Knight of Labor and
nothing but Knight of Labor. No sec
tion of the country understands this bet
ter than the West. and the West will not
be for Barry.

easier for you now to become Christians
than it is TO stay away from Christ and
Heaven. When Nine. Sontag began her
musical career she was hissed off the stage
at Vienna by the friends of her rival,
Amelia Steininger, who had already begun
to decline through her dissipation. Years
passed on, and one day Nine. Sontag, in
her glory, was riding through the streets Of
Berlin, when she saw little child leading
a blind woman, and she said: "Come here,
my little child, come here. Who is that
you are leading by the hand?" And tie
little child replied: "Thats my mother;
that's Amelia Steininger She used to be
a great singer, but she lost her voice, and
she cried so much about it that she lost her
eyesight." "Giye my love to her, " said
Nine. Sontag, "and tell her an old ac-
quaintance will call on her this afternoon" u"
The next week in Berlin a vast assem-
blaqe gathered at a benefit for that poor
blind woman, and it was said that Nine.
Sontag sang that night as she had never
sung before. And she took a skilled
occulist, who in vain tried TO give eyesight
to the poor blind woman. Until the day Of
Amelia Steiningers death Nine. SOntag
took care of her and her daughter after
her. That was what the queen Of song did
for her enemy.
